  • How Water Quality in Transboundary River Systems Affects Water, Sanitation, and Foreign Policy
    How Water Quality in Transboundary River Systems Affects Water, Sanitation, and Foreign Policy | 1 How Water Quality in Transboundary River Systems Affects Water, Sanitation, and Foreign Policy David Tipping, 2001 By David C. Tipping Edited by Yeareen Yun Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of any agency of the Australian government. Assumptions made within the analysis are not reflective of the position of any Australian government entity, or other organization or professional association. 1. INTRODUCTION Access to adequate water supply and sanitation is the core premise of local level water security. Effective management of transboundary river basin systems and water quality risks is therefore fundamental to social progress and quality of life. Improved water quality management benefits many individual lives in riparian nations, and, as demonstrated by the annual new year blessing of the fish migrations, society at large throughout the Mekong River Basin. In 2001, the author investigated the use of sustainable development indicators to improve the institutional effectiveness of international environmental management regimes. A new framework was designed to evaluate beneficial uses of water. In addition, a case study was developed on the Lower Mekong River Basin system, which integrated measures of water and environmental quality and socio-economic development. The research objectives were: (1) improving the understanding of water quality issues; (2) benchmarking water resources management performance at local, national and regional levels; and (3) enhancing technical and administrative capabilities of transboundary river basin management regimes through capacity development focused on the achievement of sustainable development objectives, and obligations and duties under international law.

  • Operating Procedures for TEM2 FEI Tecnai
    Operating Procedures for TEM2 FEI Tecnai Note: Do not press the buttons on the TEM. This will turn the TEM off and will take hours to bring it back up. Please do not reboot the TEM computer. This will turn off the vacuum and the high tension. If you are having problems with the TEM, please find a SMIF staff member immediately. 1) Log usage into the SMIF web site. 2) Check to see if the camera boxes are on. a) The TIA camera box is the box behind the monitors. The switch will be lit green if on. b) The AMT camera box is on the floor under the Cryo holder. The green light above the switch should be on. c) If either of the cameras were off, please find a SMIF staff member to turn on. The cameras must cool down for 1hr before they can be used. 3) If needed, log into the TEM computer. User name is : TEM Users, Password is: tecnai 4) If needed, open the Tecnai User Interface and then open the TIA software. If the TIA software crashes, please find a SMIF staff member. 5) Place LN2 into the cold finger dewar. The LN2 needs to be topped off before each use. Turning on TEM Note: It is important to change the kV before ramping up the Heat to # when turning on the TEM. 1) There are tabs at the top left of the Tecnai software. Go to the Tune tab. Under the Control Pads box click on Fluorescent Background Light button. This turns on the lights on the control panels.

    GUIDE 3 – FISH FARMER’S GUIDE TO COMBATING PARASITIC INFECTIONS IN COMMON CARP AQUACULTURE e-NIPO: 833-20-103-X A Series of ParaFishControl Guides to Combating Fish Parasite Infections in Aquaculture. Guide 3 This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 634429 (ParaFishControl). This output reflects only the author’s view and the European Union cannot be held responsible for any use that may be made of the information contained therein. Wherever the fish are, that's where we go. “ Richard Wagner “ Common carp is the third most cultivated freshwater species in the world. Carp aquaculture is usually performed in a semi-intensive manner, in earthen ponds, where parasitic diseases can easily compromise fish health, especially in the hot summer months, leading to production and economic losses. This guide provides useful information about the biological background of five parasites, their diagnostics and control measures. © A.S. Holzer List of Authors Dr Astrid S.

  • Difference Between Haplontic and Diplontic Life Cycles
    Difference Between Haplontic and Diplontic Life Cycles www.differencebetween.com Key Difference – Haplontic vs Diplontic Life Cycles In the context of biology, a biological life cycle is a sequence of changes a particular organism undergoes through means of reproduction (sexual or asexual) which finally returns to the original starting phase. This procedure differs from one organism to the other. During sexual reproduction, the life cycle includes the change of ploidy; the alternation of haploid (n) and diploid (2n) stages. Meiosis occurs during the change over from a diploid stage to a haploid stage. With regards to change of ploidy, life cycles are of three types. They are, haplontic, diplontic and haplodiplontic. In a haplontic life cycle, the haploid stage is typically multicellular and results in the formation of a diploid (2n) cell, which is a zygote. The zygote undergoes meiosis, which results in the formation of haploid (n) cells. In a diplontic life cycle, the diploid stage is typically multicellular, and meiosis occurs during gamete formation which results in the production of haploid (n) gametes. During fertilization, the haploid (n) gametes fuse together in the formation of a diploid (2n) zygote, and it mitotically divides and produces a multicellular diploid (2n) organism. This is the key difference between haplontic and diplontic life cycles. What is a Haplontic Life Cycle? Haplontic life cycle involves the formation of a haploid (n) single cell by the meiosis of a diploid (2n) zygote. This phenomenon could be explained with sporic meiosis – the process of formation of spores. In this process, the zygote mitotically divides and produces multicellular sporophyte which is diploid (2n).

  • FINAL COMPASS Aquaculture Roundtable Brief
    Science in Action: Exploring the Future of U.S. Aquaculture A COMPASS Roundtable on Ocean Aquaculture As the population continues to expand—both domestically and globally—identifying secure, safe sources of protein is a critical need. With two-thirds of the planet covered in water, it is logical to turn to the ocean as an arena for producing food. Globally, aquaculture is the fastest growing food sector,[i] underscoring the importance of understanding the scientific, policy, and social implications of ocean aquaculture. As with all types of cultivated food production, there are complex and interwoven challenges and opportunities in ocean aquaculture.[ii] Indigenous knowledge and current research can answer questions around environmental safeguards, ecological impacts, long-term sustainable use of marine resources, and the social dimensions of ocean aquaculture. While we’ve developed a deeper scientific understanding of aquaculture, there remains a gap between the state of the science, federal policy, and public perceptions of ocean aquaculture in the U.S.[iii] In order to help provide research insights on the science related to aquaculture, COMPASS convened a roundtable discussion with scientists and policymakers in July 2019. The Roundtable examined ways that science can inform safe, sustainable, and socially acceptable ocean aquaculture in the United States. In preparation, COMPASS staff examined the U.S. aquaculture landscape by speaking with more than 50 scientists, managers, policymakers, and tribal representatives. These stage-setting conversations reflected the key concerns surrounding ocean aquaculture such as best management practices, economics, pollution, interactions with wild populations, and climate change. They also highlighted some of the scientific, technological, and cultural advancements in contemporary aquaculture that could address and reduce some of the perceived risks.
